City of Vernon staff recommend spending $34,043 to extend a seasonal enforcement program by bylaw officers until mid-December.
The program involves two full-time and two part-time officers patrolling and responding to complaints in the business improvement area and parks and public places to address issues with the street-entrenched, transients and overnight sheltering.
“Staff provide seven day a week coverage with the majority of time spent in the mission area, Polson and Linear parks and the downtown core,” Geoff Gaucher, the protective services manager said in a report to council.
The full time officers work Monday and Tuesdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Wednesdays to Fridays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The part-timers work Wednesday to Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
